Step 3 Frame a Picture
The Basics of Shooting and Playback
Using the Zoom
Operate the zoom control to activate the optical
zoom.
• To zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of
the frame, operate the zoom control toward
g
(telephoto zoom position).
• To zoom out so that the area visible increases in the
frame, operate the zoom control toward f (wide-
angle position).
• Amount of zoom is displayed at the top of the
monitor screen when the zoom control is
operated.
• Operating the zoom control toward g at the
maximum optical zoom ratio triggers the digital
zoom and the digital zoom can magnify up to
about 4× beyond the maximum magnification of
the optical zoom.
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
• When the digital zoom is used, the image quality starts to
deteriorate if the zoom position is increased beyond the V
position on the zoom bar. The V position moves to the right as
the image size (A58) becomes smaller.
• Using Digital zoom in the setup menu (A94), it is possible to set the digital zoom so that it does
not operate.
